CRONULLA forward Reni Maitua has tested positive to a recreational drug and is poised to be stood down by the NRL.
In another black eye for the code, the former Kangaroos lock tested positive to the substance, believed to be cocaine or ecstasy, during a routine Australian Sports Drug Agency test about three weeks ago.
The Daily Telegraph understands Cronulla chief executive Tony Zappia will meet with Maituas agent Sam Ayoub and legal counsel in the city before a press conference is held later tonight.
The NRL has been informed of the positive test.
Maitua joined Cronulla at the beginning of the year after being sacked from the Bulldogs over a long history of off-field indiscretions.
